Program Overview State Fleet Management is assigned to the Division of General Services within the Office of Administration. The State Fleet Manager oversees all aspects of the program and performs the following functions:

• Coordinates statewide fleet management activities • Develops fleet policies and recommended vehicle practices • Monitors agency compliance with the State Vehicle Policy (SP-4) • Administers the State Fleet Information System • Pre-approves passenger vehicle purchases • Operates a consolidated carpool serving agencies in the Jefferson City area • Operates a vehicle maintenance facility serving agencies in the Jefferson City area • Reports the status of the state vehicle fleet annually as required by statute • Communicates fleet replacement options to policymakers • Administers fleet-related contracts • Serves as a resource to state agencies on fleet management issues • Hosts quarterly meetings of agency fleet managers

Missouri state agencies independently manage their vehicles in accordance with state statutes and the State Vehicle Policy. The Office of Administration develops policies with the input of agency fleet managers. The Fleet Management Advisory Committee (FleetMAC) is comprised of representatives from state agencies who provide valuable input into decisions affecting fleet management within state government. Agency fleet managers serve as a single point of contact between the State Fleet Manager and their respective agency on all fleet-related issues. A list of agency fleet managers is presented on the following page.

Executive Summary The State Fleet Management Program is charged with the responsibility to set policy, track utilization, and assist state agencies in the management of the state’s vehicular fleet. State agencies have operational control of their fleets and determine when and how vehicles should be used to conduct state business in the furtherance of their mission. Fleet Management strives to equip agencies with tools and resources to ensure this vehicular travel is conducted in the most efficient manner possible.

In 2018, the State Fleet Management Program began work on multiple initiatives to address recommendations made by the COO’s Task Force on Fleet Management which issued its report in January of 2018. Chief Operating Officer (COO), Drew Erdmann, convened the COO’s Task Force on Fleet Management in 2017 under the auspices of the Hawthorn Foundation. The task force brought together industry experts to share best practices with representatives of the State of Missouri. The task force evaluated current fleet practices and data and made recommendations to improve fleet practices. The task force report is available at: http://www.hawthornfoundation.org/ee-task-forces.

Some of the most critical issues identified in the report include:

• Further assessment of how the fleet is administered is needed to determine if efficiencies could be gained by centralizing redundant functions to capitalize on experience, improve consistency and maximize existing resources to reduce costs.

• Funding to replace vehicles is insufficient, and as a result, agencies are forced to retain vehicles past their useful life, resulting in higher overall life-cycle costs.

• Vehicle acquisition practices need to be modernized to allow agencies more flexibility to ‘right-type’ their fleet and acquire the most appropriate size of vehicle to accomplish the agency mission.

• Expand the use of technology to improve data reliability, reduce data collection efforts, and increase driver safety.

• Fleet safety policies need to be updated to address distracted driving and other issues. • Fleet metrics across all agency fleets need to be standardized. • Increase collaboration between agencies to explore the use of shared resources and

best practices.

2018 Data Highlights

The State Fleet Management Program monitors state fleet data through the State Fleet Information System and reports from other agencies that have their own internal fleet systems. The program also monitors vehicle rental and employee mileage reimbursement data to present the total costs of employee travel.

Data highlights for fiscal year 2018 (FY 18) include:

• Total state vehicular transportation costs increased by 6 percent from FY 17 to $94 million (includes state fleet vehicle expenses, rental vehicles, and reimbursements for personal vehicle use)

• Total business miles driven increased by 1 percent from FY 17 to 172 million miles • 84 percent of all business miles driven occurred in a state vehicle, which is nearly always

the lowest cost travel option • State employees were reimbursed for 23.1 million business miles at a cost of more than

$8.5 million • Licensed, active state vehicle count declined to 9,871 vehicles • 37 percent of the General Revenue-funded passenger vehicle fleet exceeded the

120,000 mile minimum replacement criteria • State pool vehicles averaged 19,209 miles in FY 18, which exceeds the 15,000 mile

minimum requirement set forth in the State Vehicle Policy • Annual average utilization for all state fleet vehicles is 14,642 miles driven per vehicle • Maintenance and repair expenditures decreased by 1 percent compared to FY 17 • Fuel costs increased by 15 percent compared to FY 17 • Average miles per gallon for all sedans in the State Fleet Information System was 27.6

MPG • Despite continued reductions by manufacturers in the models of flex fuel vehicles they

offer, 10 of 14 state agencies met statutory requirements for the purchase of alternative fuel (E85 capable) vehicles.1

1 Source: DED/Division of Energy FY 17 Annual Report, Page C-4. FY 18 report unavailable. Section 37.455 RSMo. requires the commissioner of administration to ensure that no less than 70 percent of new purchases for the state vehicle fleet are flexible fuel vehicles that can operate on fuel blended with 85 percent ethanol.

2018 Accomplishments The key accomplishments for the State Fleet Management Program in 2018 are listed below. Further discussion of each accomplishment is included in the following pages.

• Developed action plan to begin implementation of recommendations from the COO’s Task Force on Fleet Management.

• Selected, acquired, and began development of Chevin Fleetwave to replace the State Fleet Information System, with anticipated implementation in early fall 2019.

• In conjunction with the Division of Purchasing, established a contract to offer an option for agencies to lease vehicles, when warranted, to reduce reimbursement for personal vehicle use and/or replace older vehicles that incur higher operating and maintenance costs.

• Promulgated revised safety guidelines in State Vehicle Policy SP-4 to improve safety requiring seat belt use and prohibiting use of handheld devices while driving.

• Streamlined vehicle sales processes by collaborating with the Missouri State Agency for Surplus Property (MOSASP).

• Increased OA Carpool utilization percentage from 64 percent to 77 percent2 . • Agencies continue efforts to ‘right type’ their fleets by replacing vehicles with smaller,

more fuel efficient vehicles, saving an estimated $368,962 in life cycle costs. • Sustained high levels of overall customer satisfaction in a second survey of OA Carpool

and OA Vehicle Maintenance Facility customers. • Held quarterly fleet workshops with agency fleet managers to increase fleet knowledge

and education. • Requested a budget decision item for the FY 20 budget to conduct a fleet assessment.

COO’s Task Force on Fleet Management Action Plan

The report from the COO’s Task Force on Fleet Management was issued in January of 2018. In response to the report, State Fleet Management developed an action plan to begin addressing recommendations in the task force report and is working through initiatives as resources allow. Fleet projects were also added to the Office of Administration and Division of General Services strategic placemats to give proper importance among other strategic initiatives.

2 OA Carpool utilization increased after the pool was reduced by 30 vehicles. Utilization average prior to the fleet reduction was 64 percent and increased to 77 percent after the fleet reduction.

2018 Accomplishments (continued)

Efforts Underway to Replace State Fleet Information System In 2018, State Fleet Management collaborated with OA/ITSD to finalize system requirements to modernize and replace the aging State Fleet Information System. A contract with Chevin Fleet Solutions was awarded, and implementation is underway with an estimated go live date in August of 2019.

FleetWave, Chevin Fleet Solutions’ fleet software, is a widely recognized and extensively used product that both the Department of Conservation and Missouri State Highway Patrol were already using and were very satisfied with. FleetWave offers robust and adaptable data collection, reporting, and interface capabilities that are expected to greatly improve day-to-day fleet management efforts while improving data accuracy and reducing manual data entry. New Vehicle Leasing Contract Awarded

As recommended by the COO’s Task Force on Fleet Management, the State of Missouri must evaluate its overall transportation strategy. In an effort to provide viable, cost-effective transportation options to agencies, State Fleet Management collaborated with the Division of Purchasing to establish a contract for a pilot program for vehicle leasing. Vehicle leasing is one of many strategies that could be utilized to meet transportation needs.

When warranted, leasing could reduce mileage reimbursement expenses for personal vehicle use and/or replace older vehicles that incur higher operating and maintenance costs. As with any transportation solution, tools such as vehicle lifecycle costs analysis, vehicle utilization analysis, or individual trip cost analysis should be performed to determine the optimum solution to meet individual agency needs.

Fleet Safety Policy Improvements

State Fleet Management issued revised safety guidelines in State Vehicle Policy (SP-4) to improve safety by requiring seat belt use and prohibiting use of handheld devices while driving. These changes align with industry best practices and the Missouri Department of Transportation’s (MoDOT) efforts to encourage safe driving.

To promote the policy changes, State Fleet Management partnered with MoDOT’s Division of Highway Safety to utilize the ‘Buckle Up – Phone Down’ (BUPD) campaign to make policy changes easy to understand. State agencies took the BUPD Pledge, promoted the policy changes internally, and participated in a coordinated social media campaign to bring attention to BUPD.

2018 Accomplishments (continued)

Streamlined Vehicle Sales Processes

State Fleet Management partnered with the Missouri State Agency for Surplus Property (MOSASP) to evaluate the number of days to sell vehicles and vehicle sales pricing policies. As a result of those efforts, MOSASP dramatically reduced the number of days to process vehicle sales. Additionally, pricing strategies were modified to maximize returns for vehicles sold onsite to other eligible entities, resulting in an estimated 15 percent increase in residual values.

Increased OA Carpool Utilization

The OA Carpool, managed by the State Fleet Management Program, is a motor pool utilized by state employees from most agencies and elected officials in the Jefferson City area. In 2012, Jefferson City-based pool vehicles from 12 agencies were consolidated into one shared pool – the OA Carpool. Based on suggestions from the COO’s Task Force on Fleet Management, a review of utilization data specifically examined use for each day of the week. As a result of that review, an additional 30 vehicles were eliminated from the pool in FY 18, increasing daily utilization percentages from 64 percent to 77 percent.

Since the inception of the consolidated OA Carpool in 2012, the State Fleet Management program has reduced the number of pool vehicles by 51 percent while continuing to meet travel requirements. In FY 18, the average annual miles driven in OA Carpool vehicles was 25,907 miles.

Agencies ‘Right Type’ Fleet Vehicles to minimize vehicle life cycle costs

Since FY 13, the State Fleet Management Program requires agencies to justify any sedan purchase larger than a compact during the vehicle preapproval process. As a result of this effort, in FY 18, 61 vehicles were downsized when replaced. Estimated lifecycle cost reductions from purchasing more fuel-efficient vehicles will be $368,962. Cumulative savings to date are estimated at $2.5 million. Jefferson City Carpool and Vehicle Maintenance Customer Surveys For the second year, surveys of OA Carpool and Vehicle Maintenance customers had extremely positive results, plus provided positive feedback and suggestions about actions that could improve service. Both programs achieved overall satisfaction ratings of 4.3 or above out of 5 total possible points, results that equate to satisfaction levels between satisfied and very satisfied.

2018 Accomplishments (continued)

State Fleet Management Hosts Quarterly Fleet Workshops In an effort to improve fleet education across the state agencies, the State Fleet Management program hosted quarterly educational workshops for agency fleet managers and administrators. These workshops not only provide an opportunity for State Fleet Management to communicate and discuss fleet topics with agency fleet contacts, but facilitates an exchange of ideas between the agencies.

2019 Program Goals

For 2019, the State Fleet Management Program has established the following goals to further improve efficiencies in the state fleet:

• Complete implementation of new fleet information system • Continue implementation of strategic fleet initiatives resulting from the COO’s Task

Force on Fleet Management • Pilot vehicle telematics technology to assess costs versus benefits • Review and update State Vehicle Policy (SP-4)

Condition of the State Vehicle Fleet Roughly 172 million miles are driven annually on state business. Therefore, it is critical to control overall expenditures by ensuring state employees utilize the lowest cost travel option, which is most often state vehicles. The state fleet should be replaced in a regular, timely fashion to ensure that state employees have reliable and safe vehicles to conduct state business.

The State Fleet Information System contains data for approximately 3,650 licensed state vehicles owned and operated by all agencies, excluding the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Departments of Conservation and Transportation. Vehicle acquisition data, including the original funding source, is captured to help facilitate replacement planning. Data has been identified by funding source (General Revenue or other) and by two main vehicle categories (passenger and medium/heavy duty). The current and projected condition of both the passenger and medium/heavy duty fleet are presented in the following pages. The table below illustrates the number of vehicles by funding source and vehicle category in the State Fleet Information System.

Passenger Vehicles

The passenger fleet is comprised of sedans, light duty trucks, station wagons, SUVs, and passenger vans, which are subject to a 120,000 mile minimum replacement criterion established by the State Vehicle Policy (SP-4). Passenger vehicles are defined as having a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 8,500 lbs. Agencies must seek preapproval from the State Fleet Manager to purchase passenger vehicles, with the exception of those that will be operated by POST-certified law enforcement officers. Excluding the Missouri Departments of Transportation and Conservation, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and state colleges and universities, the state fleet consists of approximately 2,789 passenger-type vehicles.

12

Condition of the State Vehicle Fleet (continued) Passenger Fleet Condition The average odometer readings and age of passenger vehicles by funding source are illustrated below, and are reflective of the actual or projected condition of the fleet at the end of each fiscal year without replacement. Odometer readings were projected based on the vehicle being driven the same number of miles as in FY 18.

Medium/Heavy Duty Vehicles

Vehicles considered as medium/heavy duty are not subject to the same minimum replacement criteria as passenger vehicles. It is difficult for the State Fleet Management Program to estimate the condition or replacement needs of the medium/heavy duty fleet, as their normal replacement cycles vary widely and are primarily dependent upon the function of the vehicle. Data on medium/heavy duty vehicles is included in this document to inform policy makers of the likely replacement needs for medium/heavy duty vehicles; however, State Fleet Management must defer replacement recommendations for these vehicles to the state agencies. The table below illustrates the estimated condition of the non-passenger vehicle fleet for FY 18 – FY 20.

Condition of the State Vehicle Fleet (continued) The projected average age for all General Revenue passenger vehicles in FY 19 will be

more than eight years. Some light duty vehicle categories are in better condition than others. Sedans and minivans are more commonly used for statewide travel and are typically targeted for more frequent replacement. The current minimum replacement criteria for passenger vehicles is 120,000 miles, which typically occurs between six to eight years for well-utilized vehicles. Ideally, high-use vehicles would be replaced on a regular basis to minimize maintenance and repair costs and ensure that safe, reliable vehicles are available to meet the majority of state business travel needs.

State Fleet Data Travel Options Cost Per Mile

In FY 18, state employees travelled nearly 172 million miles on state business. Travel is conducted by state vehicles, rental vehicles, or personally-owned vehicles with employees receiving mileage reimbursement. The State Fleet Management Program coordinates a multi-pronged effort aimed at reducing the state’s vehicular travel-related expenses by redirecting business miles to the lowest cost option – which is almost always the use of a state vehicle.

In most cases, mileage reimbursement is the most costly travel option on a per mile basis. Due to a concerted effort to transfer business miles to lower cost options, such as state and rental vehicles, mileage reimbursement expenditures have declined for the past several years. Nevertheless, state employees were still reimbursed for 23 million business miles in FY 18 at a cost of more than $8.5 million.

The State Fleet Management program will continue to promote low-cost travel options such as state vehicles.

*The state rental contract offers unlimited in-state miles, which can make the contract more advantageous to state agencies when employees take long distance trips that are short in duration. The Trip Optimizer identifies those occasions when a rental vehicle is the lowest cost choice. For the vast majority of trips, state vehicles are the most cost-effective option.

State Fleet Data (continued)

Mileage Reimbursement

Under the authority of Section 33.095 RSMo., the Commissioner of the Office of Administration sets the mileage reimbursement rate for officials and employees. Additionally, the State Vehicular Travel Policy (SP-12), established a dual mileage reimbursement rate structure consisting of a standard rate and a reduced fleet rate. The lower fleet rate reflects the direct costs to operate a state-owned vehicle and is used to reimburse employees for use of their personally-owned vehicles when they choose to not use an available state vehicle.

State Fleet Data (continued) Vehicle Purchase Data The state should replace approximately 13 percent of the fleet each year based on an eight-year replacement cycle3 to avoid large fluctuations in upfront capital required for fleet replacement. The General Revenue investment in the passenger vehicle fleet alone should be at least $3.4 million annually4 to maintain a regular replacement cycle. Over the past three fiscal years, General Revenue funding has averaged $2.8 million5 for all vehicle types.

The following chart illustrates total vehicle expenditures compared to General Revenue vehicle expenditures.

State Fleet Data (continued) Total Business Miles

The total miles driven measurement reflects the total business miles traveled on official state business in licensed vehicles. This includes business miles collected from the State Fleet Information System, self-reported data from MoDOT, Conservation and Highway Patrol, estimated miles reimbursed for personally-owned vehicles8 and rental vehicle miles reported by Enterprise Rent-a-Car.

Agencies continue to direct a

majority of business miles driven from mileage reimbursement to lower cost state vehicles. In FY 18, 84 percent of all business miles were driven in state vehicles. State travel policies require employees to utilize the lowest cost available travel option.

The most notable change for FY

18 was a 12 percent increase in the number of business miles reimbursed. Many state agencies are actively working through options to transfer business miles from high-cost mileage reimbursement to lower cost options.

8 Calculated by taking total instate and outstate mileage reimbursement expenditures for state employees only divided by the standard mileage reimbursement rate issued by OA Accounting.

State Fleet Data (continued) Pool Vehicle Utilization

Vehicles assigned to a pool are available for use by multiple individuals, which increases their utilization. State pool vehicles averaged 19,209 miles in FY 18, which exceeds the 15,000 mile minimum requirement set forth in the State Vehicle Policy - one of the highest standards in the nation compared to other state fleets. Approximately 26 percent of the vehicles in the state fleet are assigned to a pool as general use vehicles available for multiple individuals. State Fleet Management continues to encourage the use of pool vehicles to maximize the utilization of state vehicles. The following chart reflects the continued high average usage for state pool vehicles. Average agency pool utilization for FY 18 is illustrated in the table at the bottom of the page.

State Fleet Data (continued) Sedan Cost per Mile

The primary measure in evaluating fleet costs is the total cost per mile. Tracking the cost to own and operate state vehicles is essential to making informed decisions regarding the state fleet. The weighted average cost to own and operate a non-specially equipped sedan in the state fleet was $.2942 per mile in FY 18.

The State of Missouri keeps state vehicle costs low through several cost containment strategies. Vehicles are purchased through state contracts at significant discounts from manufacturer suggested retail prices (MSRP) due to fleet incentives from the auto manufacturers. State agencies are able to reduce operating costs of state vehicles by utilizing state maintenance facilities and contracts such as the state tire contract. With a labor rate significantly below other local vendors, the Office of Administration’s Vehicle Maintenance Facility in Jefferson City saves state agencies hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Additionally, the State of Missouri self-assumes liability coverage for motor vehicle accidents through the State Legal Expense Fund and administers motor vehicle claims internally.

As depicted below, the weighted average cost per mile is calculated based on the number of compact, mid, and full size sedans in the fleet.

State Fleet Data (continued) Fleet Driver Data A key component of any fleet safety program is assurance that employees operating employer-provided vehicles have valid driver’s licenses. Many private fleet safety companies offer services to validate licenses against state departments of revenue for a fee per license check. The State Fleet Management Program collaborated with the Department of Revenue (DOR) to perform this function at no cost to the state.

Since 2006, the State Fleet Information System has provided a mechanism to ensure that state employees operating official vehicles have a valid driver’s license. The system interfaces with DOR’s Missouri Driver’s License System on a nightly basis. If the status of an employee’s driver’s license changes, an email is sent to the designated agency contact person displaying the relevant information so appropriate action can be taken. More than 2,200 emails were distributed to agencies reporting a change in license status during FY 18. Emails are sent if the driver’s status, restrictions, or endorsements change. Many of the license status changes are due to employees allowing their license to expire. In June 2008, all active state employees in SAM II, with the exception of the Departments of Conservation and Transportation, were added to the State Fleet Information System Driver’s Database. The table below illustrates the percentage of employees that had a change in the status of their license that would no longer allow them operate a state vehicle.

State Fleet Data (continued) Vehicle Rental Contract Data

The rental services contract plays an important role in state agencies’ efforts to manage

transportation expenditures. Short-term rentals typically provide a lower cost option to mileage reimbursement when state vehicles are unavailable.

Agencies are able to determine whether to utilize the rental contract based on results from the Trip Optimizer, a web-based cost estimating tool that calculates the lowest cost travel option for each trip. The state rental contract offers unlimited in-state miles, making the contract more advantageous to state agencies when employees take long distance trips that are short in duration. The following table illustrates rental contract utilization and estimated savings per mile compared to the standard mileage reimbursement rate.

Agency Fleet Compliance Fleet Management Statute

Section 37.450 RSMo. authorizes the Commissioner of the Office of Administration to

issue policies governing the acquisition, assignment, use, replacement, and maintenance of state-owned vehicles. The State Vehicle Policy (SP-4) promulgates these policies. State Fleet Management monitors agency compliance with the Fleet Management Statute and the State Vehicle Policy. A report of agency compliance follows. Reporting of State Vehicle Data

As required under Section 37.450 RSMo.13, the State Fleet Information System was implemented on July 1, 2003. Agencies are required to submit vehicle data in a format and frequency requested by the State Fleet Manager. The following agencies maintain their own fleet systems and do not submit detailed vehicle data to the Office of Administration:

• Department of Transportation • Department of Conservation • Missouri State Highway Patrol

Without detailed vehicle data, State Fleet Management is unable to confirm agency

compliance with minimum utilization standards outlined in the State Vehicle Policy (SP-4) for the Departments of Transportation and Conservation and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. These agencies do submit summary level fleet data to OA on an annual basis.

13 Section 37.450 RSMo. (3) The fleet manager shall institute and supervise a state fleet vehicle tracking system in which the cost of owning and operating each state vehicle is documented by the agency owning the vehicle. All state agencies shall report the purchase and the sale of any vehicle to the fleet manager and provide any additional information requested by the fleet manager in the format, manner and frequency determined by the office of administration.

36

Agency Fleet Compliance (continued) State Vehicle Fleet Fee

The fleet management statute14 requires each state agency to pay a state vehicle fleet fee, as determined by the Office of Administration, for each vehicle it owns. Fee assessments are issued in July based on the number of active vehicles recorded in the State Fleet Information System as of June 30 each year.

The purpose of the fleet fee is to fund the Fleet Information System and other administrative expenses incurred in management of the state fleet. Administrative costs including the salaries and benefits of staff assigned to Fleet Management and minor expense and equipment are included in the fee calculation.

In FY 18, the fee was $38 per licensed active vehicle, which included agency

contributions toward the implementation costs of the new Chevin FleetWave system.

Vehicle counts at the beginning of the fiscal year were used to calculate each agency’s total fleet fee. Since the Departments of Transportation and Conservation and the Missouri State Highway Patrol have fleets in excess of 1,000 vehicles, their fleet fee was reduced to half of the regular fee as allowed by statute.

The Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has refused to pay the fleet fee because they believe a full credit of the fee should apply. MoDOT will not authorize agency funds to pay for services which they believe are redundant to those provided by their own agency.

The Department of Conservation has not paid the fleet fee and questioned the benefit the department would receive from State Fleet Management.

14 Section 37.450 RSMo. (7) Each agency shall pay a state vehicle fleet fee, as determined by the office of administration, for each vehicle it owns for the purpose of funding the state fleet vehicle tracking system and for other administrative expenses incurred in management of the state vehicle fleet. Any agency that owns at least one thousand vehicles shall receive a credit against the state vehicle fleet fee for the internal fleet management services performed by such agency, provided such agency furnishes all information required by the fleet manager.

Agency Fleet Compliance (continued) State Policy Non-Compliance

The following are areas in which agencies are currently not compliant with the State Vehicle Policy.

The policy requires an average annual minimum utilization of 15,000 miles for pool vehicles. Listed below are the agencies with averages below the minimum requirement.

• Department of Economic Development15 • Department of Mental Health16 • Department of Transportation • Department of Labor and Industrial Relations17

The Department of Transportation has previously communicated their intent not to adhere to the following statewide fleet management policies:

• Track individual trip information • Obtain preapproval to purchase vehicles • Obtain approval to expand the size of their fleet

15 Lower utilization is primarily due to pool vehicles assigned to the Public Service Commission that have restricted use based on funding requirements. 16 Lower utilization due to state and federal requirements to have transport available, coupled with use in limited geographic areas. 17 DOLIR certified accuracy of their data and attributed lower use to operating in limited geographic areas.
